Interventions
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) Group,Resistance + BFR Group
NMES Group: Receives neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the thigh muscles for 30 minutes, three times per week, over 8 weeks. Resistance + BFR Group: Performs low-load resistance exercises with blood flow restriction applied to the thighs, also for 30 minutes per session, three times per week, over 8 weeks. Control Group: Receives placebo treatment using a turned-off stimulation device with no active intervention during the 8-week period.
